BPM Bits & Business Flows #4: Boosting Your Ideation Throughput

We continue our weekly series to deconstruct the architecture of modern business! Every Monday, we share one expert insight from the bpExperts Framework to help you eliminate silos and turn raw data into actionable intelligence.

Over the coming weeks, we are moving through the different SAP domains, specifically tailored to the unique challenges of the process industry.

Today, we shift our focus from operational execution back to the Genesis of Value—the innovation engine.

Did you know?
Within our Business Flows framework, Accelerated Innovation is not a standalone R&D activity, but a cross-functional capability that relies on real-time collaboration across the entire value chain.

The Expert Deep Dive:
To remain competitive, organizations must move beyond isolated, “closed” innovation models. Our framework enables this shift by embedding capabilities that connect internal teams with external partners from the very beginning of the development process.

This includes structured collaboration across interdisciplinary teams, strategic alignment of innovation portfolios with business objectives, and real-time co-innovation with customers and suppliers to ensure that new products meet market, regulatory, and operational requirements from day one.

Why it matters for bpExperts:

• Increased Ideation Throughput:
  By involving key stakeholders early, organizations generate more viable ideas and eliminate unfeasible ones faster.

• Reduced Development Friction:
  Coordinating dependencies across innovation portfolios ensures faster delivery and higher-impact outcomes.

• Informed Decision-Making:
  Transforming raw ideas into actionable intelligence increases the success rate of innovation initiatives.

As noted in our layout, organizations that adopt these BPM practices improve efficiency and decision-making by creating transparency and alignment across the entire innovation lifecycle.
